Some very jaInty costumes are of red

trimmed with cream or striped flannel
suits are more worn than anything else.
Felt hats keep company with rough,
serviceable costumes and in red or blue
chiefly they form most suitable finish.
Elegant shade hats of fine Leghorn, bent
in artistic drOOpings and trimmed by
garlandS or loose.
Though linen colors and cuffs are
worn with plain wooden dresses, ruch-

and black. 1t has patented band with
a fine wire run through it, warranted to
hold the ruching in place. Crepe lisse
ruching in shell pattern comes in white
and cream, black, with patent band,
and is very popular. A treble ruching
in double bOX-plaitS, made of crepe liSSe,
with a silk edge, in white and cream,
with patent band, has also been in
good sale. In shell pattern crepe lisse

not suitable to the average woman, this
new mode. it is thought, will not prove
very popular. Late styles from Paris
indicate reversal of the ordinary rule

fabrics. Up to the present, it is said. it
has been looked upon as the natural
order of things that the heavier fabric
should form the groundwork of the cos
tune and that the more delicate textile
should be used for the trimming and the
various adjunctS; but now this is all
changed, the groundwork of the dress

heavier one used for the drapery and

out and served on him by old Coupons
daughter Clara. Every one at Long
Beach has heard the story, and each
said it served him right, Clara is hid
ing great deal of grief, but, foolish
girl, she ought to rejoice at having es-
capped wretched life with man that
sought her only for her fathers money.

stocked it. A gold and black sign
showed where Clara heart was and the
best fitting shirts could be had. =
The Coupon family have a cottage at
Long Beach, and Mr.. Previous has spent
almost every Sunday there. He be

man knocked off three months cOmmu-

and the preparations were going on for
wedding in October. Clara came to
town to visit an aunt for few days, and
on Sunday last it was arranged that on
Monday Mr.. Previous was to accompany
